Special Horses Annual Auction
2026 Equine Artwork Auction
WHEN: May 2nd - May 9th, 2026
An Auction of Unique Art and Craft Work from Both Well-Established and Emerging Artists!
WHEN: Saturday, May 2nd at 10 AM CST through Saturday, May 9th at 10 PM CST, 2026
An Auction of Unique Art and Craft Work from Both
Well-Established and Emerging Artists!
This auction highlights the contributions of artists specializing in diverse media – jewelry, giclee prints, fiber arts, watercolor, leatherwork, quilting, photography, and more! Many pieces are equine-related, but not all – the unifying theme is that all support the efforts of equine rescues. We are so grateful for the generosity of these wonderful artists who are willing to share their artistic gifts to benefit equines in need.
The auction will run from Saturday, May 2nd at 10 AM through Saturday, May 9th at 10 PM CST. We will once again offer the highly coveted “Ted’s Mom’s Fudge,” as some consider this an art form. There is something to appeal to everyone, and all proceeds support equines in need!
The auction will support the following outstanding 501(c)(3) rescue organizations:
Bluebonnet Equine Humane Society
Bright Futures Farm
The Exceller Fund
Sunkissed Acres
True Innocents Equine Rescue

How to Donate Items for Our Auctions
All of the items in our auctions have been donated by wonderful people just like you, so look around your home and donate new and gently used items to help horses in need! The items don’t have to be horse-related and their value is tax deductible. Use the form on our Contact page if you have any questions.
A few specifics:
- We are able to include items that are received up to three days before an auction begins, or we can reserve those items for an upcoming auction or fundraiser.
- If you want to support a specific rescue group, you can donate items to be used for only that group's auctions or fundraisers.
- If you are an artist or crafter and want to donate something you've created, you will be promoted on the Special Horses website, our social media pages, and any participating rescue group's social media pages.
Two ways to donate:
- You can send the item(s) to Special Horses, 4376 Maryland Ave., A7, St. Louis MO 63108. Keep your postage payment receipt, as that counts as part of your tax-deductible donation.
- You can email information about the items (new or used, dimensions, color, material, value and starting bid, estimated shipping cost, etc.) and include two or three photos. We will include the items in our auction (or fundraiser) and when they are won, you will be responsible for packing and shipping the item to the winning bidder, and Special Horses will reimburse you for your shipping costs.
